DESIGN CONCEPT, PHILOSOPHY, INTENTION
A contoured podium, referred to as topographical architecture, is mimicked from terraced plantations
(Figure 1). It is sculpted to form dramatic outdoor plazas, gardens and terraces which flow seamlessly
into the interiors. The crisp and streamlined tower blocks harmonize with surrounding high-rise office
buildings. The snaking bands of fluted concrete weave through the length and breadth of the podium
without interruption, and without acknowledgment of the boundaries between exterior and interior
